Remember the times when the term ‘difficulty’ hardly made sense when it came to studies? The syllabus was much easier and was seemingly age-appropriate. Then came a time when students began to study textbooks that were a bit harder to understand. However, the move was much-needed, keeping in mind the rising competition and humanity’s advancement in general. But everything has a limit, and so is the case with education. Things should be difficult to challenge students, but not to the level where even the teachers are left facing the same challenges. Sharing about something similar, an IISc Bangalore professor took to his social media, and shared his shock over the difficulty level of a Class 10 AI exam question paper. The paper had a question asking students for a python program for a ‘simple Chatbot’, which especially puzzled the man.

The post instantly began to pull many reactions. Most people dubbed it the mistake of the teacher and the school admin for making the exam difficult for young students, while some appreciated the move, calling it better for students.

The AI post was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘deepakns’. The post was captioned, “Our relative called today to get help for their 10th class child’s AI exam. I asked for the question paper and was shocked. How does one write a ‘python program for a simple Chatbot’ for 4 points? Is the school serious????” The post was shared yesterday and pulled 103K views from people.

Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “IT can be written in a few lines but that's not what kids should learn. Kids should learn to explore math and science computationally, plot data from physics experiments or plot linear equations they come across in high school, and write code to simulate the inverse sq law,” a user said.

“Meanwhile I'm supposed to write a 3-page theory about chatbots in a data science paper tomorrow,” added a second person. “Now the kids have to mug up scikit-learn tutorials,” added a third user. “Clearly the teacher doesn’t know. If they knew, this question paper wouldn’t have been set,” added a fourth person.
